Her officials within her are roaring lions; her rulers are evening wolves, who leave nothing for the morning.

Jerusalem’s officials are like roaring lions. Their rulers are like wolves that hunt in the evening. They don’t leave anything to eat in the morning.

Her officials within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves that leave nothing till the morning.

Its leaders are like roaring lions hunting for their victims. Its judges are like ravenous wolves at evening time, who by dawn have left no trace of their prey.

The princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are wolves of the night, which leave nothing for the morning.

Her leaders within her are roaring lions, Her judges are wolves at evening; They have no bones to gnaw in the morning.

Her princes in her midst are roaring lions; Her judges are evening wolves That leave not a bone till morning.

Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing till the morrow.

The princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are wolves of the night, which leave nothing for the morning.

Her princes within her[ are] roaring lions; her judges[ are] evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.

Her princes within her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.

Their horses are faster than leopards and more alert than wolves in the desert. Their horses gallop, their horses come a great distance; like a vulture they swoop down quickly to devour their prey.

Her princes within her are like a roaring lion tearing its prey; they have devoured lives. They take away riches and valuable things; they have made many women widows within it.Her priests abuse my law and have desecrated my holy things. They do not distinguish between the holy and the profane, or recognize any distinction between the unclean and the clean. They ignore my Sabbaths and I am profaned in their midst.Her officials are like wolves in her midst rending their prey– shedding blood and destroying lives– so they can get dishonest profit.

So like a lion from the thicket their enemies will kill them. Like a wolf from the desert they will destroy them. Like a leopard they will lie in wait outside their cities and totally destroy anyone who ventures out. For they have rebelled so much and done so many unfaithful things.

He waits in ambush near the villages; in hidden places he kills the innocent. His eyes look for some unfortunate victim.He lies in ambush in a hidden place, like a lion in a thicket; he lies in ambush, waiting to catch the oppressed; he catches the oppressed by pulling in his net.His victims are crushed and beaten down; they are trapped in his sturdy nets.

Like a roaring lion or a roving bear, so is a wicked ruler over a poor people.

Your officials are rebels, they associate with thieves. All of them love bribery, and look for payoffs. They do not take up the cause of the orphan, or defend the rights of the widow.

I said,“ Listen, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of the nation of Israel! You ought to know what is just,yet you hate what is good, and love what is evil. You flay my people’s skin and rip the flesh from their bones.You devour my people’s flesh, strip off their skin, and crush their bones. You chop them up like flesh in a pot– like meat in a kettle.Someday these sinners will cry to the LORD for help, but he will not answer them. He will hide his face from them at that time, because they have done such wicked deeds.”

Even as I have seen, those who plow iniquity and those who sow trouble reap the same.By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.There is the roaring of the lion and the growling of the young lion, but the teeth of the young lions are broken.The mighty lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

But you are always thinking and looking for ways to increase your wealth by dishonest means. Your eyes and your heart are set on killing some innocent person and committing fraud and oppression.

Listen to this, you leaders of the family of Jacob, you rulers of the nation of Israel! You hate justice and pervert all that is right.You build Zion through bloody crimes, Jerusalem through unjust violence.Her leaders take bribes when they decide legal cases, her priests proclaim rulings for profit, and her prophets read omens for pay. Yet they claim to trust the LORD and say,“ The LORD is among us. Disaster will not overtake us!”

“‘ See how each of the princes of Israel living within you has used his authority to shed blood.
